Meet Aaron King : 'Take That' Tribute Band Lead Singer (aka ScallyMasterXXX)

Britisher Aaron King is a 36-year old singer who has been performing in a highly successful Take That tribute band for nearly 17 years. Impersonating the pop band's lead singer, Gary Barlow, he has toured throughout the U.K. and Europe, playing theaters, hotels, festivals, cruise ships, and many corporate events.

He also performs in front of the camera, making adult content for JustFor.Fans. You might know him as ScallyMasterXXX. While he admits the two jobs couldn't be more different, "they both consist of performing for an audience." He likes to keep the jobs "completely separate from each other," and he freely admits "they tend not to complement each other."

His partner of 12 years, Luke, is a full-time hairdresser and also a member of the band. They live together in the suburbs of Northern England.

Aaron recently answered EDGE's questions via email to share more about his work as an entertainer in two very different worlds.

EDGE: How did you get involved in adult content work?

Aaron King: It all started with a trip to Gran Canaria for Gay Pride. I met some content creators I recognized in a gay sauna where we began to talk about the adult industry. It is something I was always interested in doing, but just never seemed to get around to it. I have never been self-conscious or shy about having sex in front of an audience, and I'm also pretty experimental and open-minded too, which helps. They encouraged me to set up an account and start creating content. They even offered advice and a chance to have my first collaboration with them as a couple. I decided I would like to do it as soon as I returned home. I set up all the accounts needed, then started making content with my partner and some distant friends I knew were in the industry already.

EDGE: How much online content do you create?

Aaron King: I try to upload at least one full video per week, keeping it consistent throughout the year for my followers. That way, they are always getting multiple new and fresh videos for each monthly subscription. I like to be known for my consistency and variety of content.

EDGE: Does your content have a specific genre?

Aaron King: I try not to put myself in a certain category or particular genre. That way I can keep my options open, and work with many different people. I am quite a curious and experimental guy and so I like to try new things in videos and not do the same thing all the time. My image is of the British Scally/Chav, who has a reputation for being a working-class bad boy with a certain dress sense. It's something of a fetish in the British gay scene. It seems to appeal to a lot of people as it comes across as dominant and real and raw.

EDGE: There are a number of sites for adult content, why did you choose JustFor.Fans?

Aaron King: I like the ease of the upload system and the fact that they do actively help to share your content from time to time. It's also great that you can have friends on there, so you can chat to other creators.

EDGE: Do you put your content on other sites?

Aaron King: I also upload to OnlyFans but that is purely to widen my audience. I believe they're quite different. I also tease content on my twitter/X account and PornHub for promotion purposes.

EDGE: Are your band members aware of your online content? If so, how is it received?

Aaron King: Only one other member knows, and that is my partner, who is also in the band. I suspect one other band member knows through mutual friends, but nothing has ever been discussed and I have never confirmed or discussed it with them.

EDGE: Are you concerned they might find out?

Aaron King: I'm not concerned about them knowing, I am proud of what I do. And I am not shy to talk about it. But if they tell other people who I may not know, or if word gets around in the music industry – I like to keep the two jobs separate and independent of each other.
